The Concentric Capacitor - Key to the Kapanadze Device and similar FE Concepts?

[Zeitmaschine]

A summarization of the latest findings and theories regarding Aether powered electric free energy devices.

Writing things down helps thinking.

+++ IDENTIFYING A NOVEL PHYSICAL PRINCIPLE +++

As a starter we take a quick look at the »free energy spark« setup as depicted below. One side of the secondary coil of a (50Hz) high voltage transformer is connected to a spark gap while the other side stays open. The second side of the spark gap is connected to a metallic (grounded) object. When the voltage exceeds the breakdown voltage of the surrounding air, a spark occurs. Since there is no closed electric circuit on the high voltage side Lenz's law is not applicable, therefore - as expected - an ammeter connected to the primary coil (via inverter) does not show any increase of current while sparking. But if so, then where is the energy coming from that creates that sparking?

A spark gap also acts as a capacitor. One plate is neutral, the other plate alternates between either a lack of electrons (positive) or a surplus of electrons (negative). This creates a temporary distortion (an electric field) in the Aether (the Aether which is non-existent in modern science) between the electrodes of the spark gap (the plates). As soon as the breakdown of the air occurs the sudden flow of electrons short-circuits that distortion of the Aether. Since there is no time for the distortion to relax gradually and thus giving its energy back to space, the energy of the distorted Aether manifests itself as spark. And strictly speaking, the stored energy in a capacitor is not stored in the capacitor plates but in the Aether between those plates. 

Then what about an ordinary capacitor, let's say 1 Farad? If one charges that capacitor with a certain amount of energy and then he shorts that capacitor abruptly, then, according to the above theory, that quick discharge should release more energy than previously stored in the capacitor, shouldn't it?

And so it is. Here is a video (in German) that demonstrates that effect nicely.

Freie Energie »Kalter Strom« Präsentation

First he charges that big capacitor with low current (thin cold wire), then he discharges it abruptly (because voltage is too low to create a spark for self-discharge) resulting in a high current (thick glowing wire). Quod erat demonstrandum.

His explanation about the principle of a magnetized Li-Ion accumulator comes without any physical foundation, and I think he knows that. Because he announces a new video coming up shortly that will show how to utilize that effect in a practical way. But now it is almost 6 years ago and we are still waiting for that sequel. Here the discussion about it, which led to nothing so far.

Tesla: »I reached 18 million horsepower activities, but that was always by this device: Energy stored in the condenser and discharged in an inconceivably small interval of time.«

This appears to me as if Tesla had this abruptly-discharge-a-condenser idea a long time ago as well. Now one could argue that charging a capacitor slowly and then discharging it quickly will always give more power but in return for a shorter period of time, hence there should be no energy gain. But then, why talks Tesla about »inconceivably small interval of time«? Why that extremely short time span?

Another example. When static high voltage is connected to the spark gap the sparking is extremely violent. The electric field created by the high voltage warps the Aether between the electrodes, resulting in a spark fed by additional energy coming from the Aether.

So far that means, it is practically possible to get energy from the Aether, although not lots of. Now the issue is, how to get USEFUL amounts of energy from the Aether, not just some sparks. How could we do that? By enlarging the capacitor, avoiding any sparking and then taking out the energy by appropriate means?

+++ LOOKING AT SCIENTIFIC PAPERS +++

»The Casimir effect is widely considered to hold the key to the extraction of energy from the Aether.«

»If we wanted to produce energy from the Aether, we would produce photons between strong charges. The ideal configuration would be strong charges arranged in a spherical form. Two spherical objects (of strong charge) held a certain distance apart produce a capacitance. The ratio of the spherically arranged strong charge to capacitance determines the amount of energy that results.« Quoted from Secrets of the Aether

»[...] now consider Fig. 6. Here I show a section of a concentric capacitor. That aether motion I mentioned is now not linear motion but rotary motion confined between the capacitor electrodes and so, when the capacitor voltage is reduced, that motion will have inertia and not dissipate by collisions which feed energy back into the enveloping aether. Instead, it will try to sustain the electric displacement, meaning that it will deploy its energy into the release of electrical energy which can be drawn from the capacitor.« Quoted from Our Future Energy Source - The Vacuum!, by Harold Aspden. (see illustrations below)

So here it is scientifically suggested to use a concentric capacitor (also called a »magic« capacitor) in order to get useful energy from the Aether. Could there be something to this thesis?

Besides, a concentric capacitor can also act as a Faraday cage. When the inner plate of a concentric capacitor is connected to high voltage, whereas the outer plate is connected to ground, then we have a charge inside a Faraday cage. »If the cage is grounded, the excess charges will go to the ground instead of the outer face [...]« This could generate a ground current depending on the intensity of the electric field inside the concentric capacitor (the Faraday cage). Is this the ground current measured during the demonstration of Kapanadze's green box setup? 

Quote from Rapid and Decisive Solution of the World Energy Crisis and Global Warming, by T. E. Bearden:

»Presently most scientists and engineers keep thinking [...] that asymmetrical EFTV [energy from the vacuum] COP>1.0 EM systems are simple. In that odd and ill-informed view, if an EFTV inventor really 'has it' and knows what he is doing, then all he has to do is run down to Radio Shack, get some standard parts [...] and whomp them together, and then he's ready to put his system [...] directly into production and marketing. That entire prevailing viewpoint is a colossal joke.«

Considering that statement, it looks indeed as if we need a home-made component of some sort.

And of course »Don't kill the dipole« with that component. It's just not a nice thing to do.

+++ FAMOUS DEVICES +++

Quote:
                »The one component which Kapanadze makes himself is the secret component that makes his device work.«

Thanks to those scientific papers now we do know as well what Kapanadze's secret is. It is a concentric capacitor. Self-made, because Radio Shack does not offer such a component for sale.

So then, could there be a possibility that someone could stumble upon such a capacitor by chance although it is not obtainable in any stores? What about a (three-phase) transformer? One coil wound upon the other can easily function as a concentric capacitor. »all magic happens 'Between coils'«, this enigmatic message from Guntis (alias cosmoLV) now makes sense. The so called »Stepanov transformer« seems to make somehow use of that coil-capacitor effect. Since each of the three single transformers normally consists of a primary coil, a secondary coil and a shared core, the number of possible connections are rather limited - and that should make things easier.

Another device that looks like a concentric capacitor is Turtur's »Zero Point Energy Rotor«. The inner plate of that capacitor rotates by means of high voltage. Here, as it appears, we can see in real life what Harold Aspden describes as »rotary Aether motion«. The strength of that Aether rotation does even create torque on visible objects not only at quantum level particles.

Next the »Steven Marks Toroidal Power Unit«. It is round in shape. Why? Because that round shape contains a concentric capacitor, which is stringently required to get energy from the Aether? That TPU reminds slightly on a flying saucer and the question Why are they round? It would be interesting by the way to know if the Kapanadze device - or even Testatika - reacts in the same intensive sparking way like the TPU when shorted. Then we can call this a free energy spark indeed.

Thesta Distatica or short Testatika. It works not with one but with six concentric capacitors. Albeit the question reads: are all those capacitors really essential or are some of them just there to have a few decorative elements? Anyhow, Aspden's figure 7 looks strangely like a diagram of the Testatika. Coincidences happen. More information about the Testatika machine, which Wikipedia won't let you know. At least the wrong schematic is still there (as yet).

Quote from Static on Moving Object Forms Magnetic Field:

»To the shaft of an electric motor, attach a disk of hard rubber, or an old phonograph record. Electrify the disk by rubbing it with a woolen cloth. Now start the motor. Place a small magnetic compass near the edge of the whirling disk, and the needle will be deflected, showing that it has been brought into a magnetic field.«

An electrostatic field is actually warped Aether. If strong enough it ionizes the air. Guntis calls this a »Dead Magnetic Field«. Assumed this static field (the ionization), instead of being moved mechanically, is set in rotary motion by itself within a capacitor (compare Aspden, Lecture No. 27) and then disturbed by the magnetic field created by electrons moving through a wire nearby. Then will that static (rotating) field also create (add) a magnetic field in that wire? Guntis names this process »activate these electrons«.

Kapanadze's Sadolin (paint) tin can setup. It is grounded (as one side of the load is) and an orange wire comes out of it connected to the load. The color of the correlating wire of the Testatika tin can is red (respectively blue). The same is true for the alleged replication of the Testatika. Coincidence? Testatika generates static high voltage pulses to feed the round condensers (Leyden Jars) by means of a turning wheel (or two). Does Kapanadze generate these pulses without moving any mechanic parts just by applying alternating voltage? Also could it be that the round tin canister in itself is a concentric capacitor?

Below the photographs of two of Kapanadze's three-phase setups for comparison (blue coils, grey coils with capacitor bank). The energy output of each device is supposed to be 100KW, accordingly the capacitors are rather large in contrast to the small tin can powering the 5KW device. Here the outer plate is a coil the inner plate is not visible. The load is connected to the coil and ground. And that gives me headaches. Because both, the load and the capacitor plate (tin can) are grounded, then where to connect the high voltage? Maybe to an additional third capacitor plate?

New on the (YouTube) market, D-1943. As was expected, the website presents no blueprints of D-1943 so far. The stated weight is about 95kgs. That's rather heavy compared with Kapanadze's 2004 setup. In a video the inner plates of the capacitors are visible. It is a metallic tube wrapped with wire. The result is a concentric capacitor. As it seems this device needs two of them, giving it a Testatika like look; coincidences happen. Also strange: There are two wires leading to each of the metallic tubes. So the conclusion could be that an inner metallic tube is placed within the outer metallic tube, what makes that a three-plate capacitor (the outermost plate is the coil). But what about that peculiar rotating wheel? Decoration only? Kapanadze devices do not need such a thing.

The Hendershot Generator. The main components are two basket weave coils containing a capacitor. But »containing« does not mean simply placing a factory-made capacitor from Radio Shack inside the coil. It means each coil has to contain a concentric capacitor, so the coil itself is the outermost plate of the capacitor. Hence all replications without that concentric coil-capacitor won't work or they are hoax. The drawing of the coil shows a concentric capacitor inside four coils. Therefore that design is actually a three-plate capacitor (compare with D-1943) and it works without transistors or diodes (compare with Testatika).

Daniel Mcfarland Cook. This setup consists of no more than two cross-connected electric elements. Each element comprises a coil and one coil-capacitor in concentric arrangement. Thus these elements are two concentric three-plate capacitors and transformers in one. Sounds familiar (compare Stepanov transformer).

Nilson Barbosa and Cleriston De Moraes Leal. Actually I don't know what to make of this patent. But again something sounds familiar in that patent specification: »[...] one electromagnetic field generating device [...] powered by a power source [...] having their core or extension of them, [...] wrapped by at least one common conductive member in a closed circuit on itself [...] biased with a [high?] voltage which is powered by induction by least one conductive element interconnection that is connected to a ground grid, [...] provoke, as a new technical effect, the appearance of an electric current which remains circulating in the conductor element in a closed circuit on itself [...]« So we have here a closed circuit and the appearance of an electric current in that closed circuit as novel effect (compare Mcfarland Cook). Just another odd coincidence? Furthermore Barbosa and Leal are well acquainted with three-phase systems.

The Searl Effect Generator. There are three metallic rings forming two concentric capacitors and the air between those rings gets ionized, as explained in this video Searl Effect Full Disclosure. Unfortunately that story is much too big for Wikipedia so they made the decision to censor it.

The Hubbard Coil. One inner coil surrounded by eight outer coils, connected to high voltage via a step-up transformer. Thus the coils are forming a concentric capacitor, whereas the high voltage takes care of the ionization between those coils. »It takes the power from air and turns out an electric current.« Of course »He declined to go into detail in regard to the exact manner in which he managed to extract power from radium« because this is nonsense, but apparently more believable at that time than electricity out of thin air.

The device of T. H. Moray. Is this device just a black box or do we perhaps find a touch of enlightenment nearby? On an old photograph we see two cylinders reminiscent of metallic tubes wrapped with wire, which makes them two concentric capacitors along with a coil to the right. Startling enough it fits Harold Aspden's figure 7 precisely. The output power rating is said to be hundred watts.

The unexplained Lithuania yoke device. It also makes use of a concentric capacitor, but surprisingly only half of such, as demonstrated here Working OU device Video from Wesley, along with some Quotes:

stivep
                »again the strength of the field was tremendous«

cosmoLV
                »if you once get this magnetic field - you will be amazed«
                »I'm sure that you will not post schematics!«

stivep
                »-pain in the part of the head. Felt similar to mechanical impact.«
                »-Pain felt as skin affected when you move your head rapidly.«

So that implies - in terms of physics - that something extraordinary was going on, not written in the textbooks and it could be venturesome to post schematics. Anyhow, a magnetic field created by just a few watts input that can injure your head is surely a good reason to be amazed.

Also the webmaster hosting the files of the yoke device was apparently most amazed, so he deleted the tutorial files quickly between January 2012 and March 2012, keeping only the Lithuania Experiment without any sign of the yoke device and its existence.

As specified in that how-to guide the yoke device is powered by two generators G1 and G2, synchronized with each other. One frequency is 50Hz. Now coincidentally the Stepanov transformer setup comprises a frequency doubler circuit, thus it runs also on two frequencies, 50Hz and 100Hz phase-locked (synchronized).

Stepanov's secret frequency doubler. As with the yoke device, which runs on two different frequencies, obviously the Stepanov transformer also needs two input frequencies. Otherwise the frequency doubler circuit briefly visible under the cardboard box would make no sense. It consists of a diode bridge, a capacitor (two connected together) and a barely visible power resistor. A diode bridge and a capacitor is also part of Kapanadze's tin can device. There is also a diode bridge attached to Kapanadze's hydraulic generator. Hence, do the Kapanadze and Stepanov devices absolutely need DC in order to work, although AC goes in and AC comes out? But if it would turn out that no frequency doubler (or some other higher frequency above 50Hz) is required, even better.

The mystery of Tesla's Aether powered car (see attachment). Mystery number one: It is said, an antenna rod of 6 feet length was fitted to Tesla's Pierce-Arrow sedan. What for? It would be weird at the very least, if Kapanadze can run his device without an antenna, but the master of electricity, Tesla, needed one. Mystery number two: No mention of any round shaped object (resembling a capacitor) not belonging to the car, except the 80-hp electric motor perhaps, which replaced the combustion engine. So was Tesla's electric car a hoax? Hard to believe in light of the fact that in the following decades after Tesla's test drive one electric free energy device after the other popped up at someplace - although each time without a detailed construction manual, unfortunately.

My sparking test: By connecting four small 50Hz transformers together and to 220V/50Hz via a frequency doubler, the same tiny bluish spark like Kapanadze's one can be produced. Therefore, neither a TV's flyback transformer, nor a bulky microwave oven transformer, nor high-tech semiconductors are required for that. Further, if there is no electronics, there is also no need for a DC power supply, meaning the diode bridge and the capacitor are most likely working as a frequency doubler circuit as previously already suspected. Of course I don't think that a spark is required at all to get amounts of energy from the Aether. The same is true for a classic Tesla coil.

+++ DRAWING CONCLUSIONS +++

Substantiated by scientific papers the concentric capacitor seems to be the key for receiving energy from space (the Aether). All above mentioned (free) energy-from-Aether devices are comprising at least one concentric shaped component which can act as a capacitor (except Tesla's car, but attributed to a lack of information). Certainly this could all be by accident - if we disregard any plausibility. Thus, having reached that state of knowledge, the question is no longer if there exists a so far unknown physical phenomena, but how it could be practically applied. And as a consequence the writing of Victor Grig »Principle of work of Tariel Kapanadze's device« also turns out to be just based on wild speculations instead of facts, for the reason there is no mention of any special designed concentric components in that account.

So, what do we need? »There are 3 things« required in order to get energy from the Aether. Let's see, what that could be. First thing, a (three-plate) concentric capacitor. Second thing, high voltage for ionization. Third thing, two resonant frequencies. Granted, all these three things are still tagged with the adverbs »probably« and »presumably«.

Do we require a so called parametric excitation? Maybe, maybe not. »The first order or the principal parametric resonance is achieved when the driving/excitation frequency is twice the natural frequency of a given system.« The natural frequency of the Kapanadze and Stepanov devices is 50Hz, hence a frequency doubler circuit would provide the (phase-locked) excitation frequency of 100Hz. But exciting an electric circuit parametrically will not result in any energy gain if the circuit does not comprise a component that can tap into an existing energy source, which in this case - according to all we know as yet - should be the Aether.

Maybe my assumptions are still wrong in part, but at least I think I'm close, very close.

Slightly off-topic, the Lüling permanent magnet motor (similar to the Perendev motor principle, similar to the Ylidiz motor principle), presented in the UFA-Wochenschau 498/1966 (click the play-icon next to 'Cut 1'), vanished since then. Because magnetism is also a property of the Aether, it is reasonable to assume that a permanent magnet motor has to tap into that source of energy as well, although the method is different. The method is to shield (neutralize) the magnets properly, so the magnetic field remains in a constant state of imbalance. However, that creation of imbalance in the surrounding Aether should also be the basic principle of Aether powered electric free energy devices.

And since this is all about warping the Aether but not the pages of this forum due to oversize images (greater than 800px width), the solution to that is a Firefox plugin called Stylish. Just in case we copy the following lines into that plugin:

Hi Zeitmachine,

You said,

"The method is to shield (neutralize) the magnets properly, so the magnetic field remains in a constant state of imbalance.

I think it is more that the magnetic field has to be placed properly in the right location , I don't think you can cancel the field without costing alot more in than what you get out.
In my rotor when the fields were active one after another they were fighting each other.
Now they activate 120 deg. apart and it works much better now.
But I'm dealing with 12 coils.
Just my opinion.

Maybe studying the permanent magnet motor patents could help finding the best positions for the magnets.

Alexander V. Frolov: The Work that is Created by Means of Potential Field

According to Frolov, the DC ammeter does not measure an increase of current (rather a decrease) when the incandescent light bulb is lit by the current going through the spark gap. This confirms the theory (see at the beginning) that a capacitor can provide additional energy - coming from the Aether - when discharged rapidly. And I think Frolov's explanation (pinch-effect, additional kinetic energy) is therefore inaccurate.

So The capacitor was the focus. We know this due to Tesla's disruptive discharge circuits.

The thing that got Tesla was the Caps could not take the abuse of the disruption or quick dumping of it's capacity. This is what lead him to the coil/cap discovery. The Bifilar coil includes the capacity in it's design. It was used after the transformer as an extra coil. But the coil also was a Capacitor that could handle extreme Dumps of the capacitance and it would radiate better due to the reduction of reluctance that a natural inductance shows. The only thing with bifilars is they don't have self induction and tend to speed up impulses fed into either end. In essence a special transformer can be made with a bifilar primary wrapped with a solenoid secondary. As the impulse fills the capacitance of the bifilar coil it can induce all of the direction of the bifilar coil is moving in. The impulse fills the capacity then rebounds back out of the coil back to the origination of the impulse. This has an effect on the solenoid that changes polarity depending on the direction the capacitor is getting charged or dumping charge and is a normal form of AC.
Once you know that the spark gap is the entrance to energy it makes all sense. The gap when discharging is full of plasma and that plasma is highly conductive. It can draw in energy trough that gap rhythmically. Timing the system to open the lock and then allow it to suck in energy is the way to go here.

Capacitors as an entity are useless in these kinds of systems for two reasons. Cost of maintenance and life cycle limits.

What was in the Can was an oil filled transformer with the capacitance built right in. The oil increases the capacitance breakdown level and Tesla used it to exclude air from the transformer to allow a higher ability to do work without breaking down the air and so did TK.

Picture 1: Is the system in two flavors. Closed and open. Normal and single terminal mode.
                  One side note is that the orientation must be kept between the secondary and the extra coils. They must not be effected by the secondaries magnetic production.
                  One other note is the inclusion of a ground wire inside of the transformer in figure one of the first picture. Look familiar?

Picture 2: Is what he first tried using normal caps. Saltwater bath as one plate and milk bottles filled with salt water as the other terminal. He kept breaking the bottles while using the system.

Picture 3: Is the bifilar coil with included capacitance and near zero self induction that he recommends using as the extra coil and end capacitance or top load.
                 Side note: Oil bath for the bifilar coils results in better efficiency and less chance of a break down in the coil of the capacitance.
